New Delhi: Air India has stepped in to aid passengers facing disruptions due to Air India Express’s cancellation of 74 of its flights owing to an ongoing protest by a section of its cabin crew. Air India has stated that it will run flights on 20 of its subsidiary’s routes.

“We will be operating 283 flights today. We have mobilised all resources and Air India will support us by operating on 20 of our routes. However, 85 of our flights stand cancelled and we urge our guests booked to fly with us to check if their flight is affected by the disruption before heading to the airport,” the airline said in a press release on Thursday.

“If their flight is cancelled, or delayed beyond 3 hours, they may opt for a full refund or reschedule to a later date without any fees on Tia on WhatsApp (+91 6360012345) or on airindiaexpress.com,” it added.

Air India Express on Wednesday handed out termination letters to some of its agitating employees. The Tata-group airline has sacked around 25 senior cabin crew members following the mass sick leave by over a hundred senior cabin crew, The Indian Express reported.

The strongly worded termination letters were emailed to employees late on Wednesday stating the move pointed to a pre-meditated and concerted abstention from work without a justifiable cause, TIE added. The letter accused the agitating members of causing reputational damage and monetary loss to the brand.
